Design Guidelines

The University of Saskatchewan (USask) Design Guidelines are intended to provide information on systems and design components that must be followed for projects on campus. These documents are considered the minimum design standards for any system component noted. Designers are required to meet applicable Codes and standards for all systems and components not specifically mentioned within these documents.

The Design Guidelines are living documents. Consultants are encouraged to engage the USask Planning Design and Construction team to suggest updates or clarifications to the guidelines as necessary to ensure USask procedures and specifications stay up to date with industry practices. It is the Consultant’s responsibility to ensure they are using the most up to date version of each section of the Guidelines for any new projects undertaken.
